CreateClusterRequest

If true, major version upgrades can be applied during the maintenance window to the Amazon Redshift engine that is running on the cluster.

When a new major version of the Amazon Redshift engine is released, you can request that the service automatically apply upgrades during the maintenance window to the Amazon Redshift engine that is running on your cluster.

Default: A random, system-chosen Availability Zone in the region that is specified by the endpoint.

Example: us-east-1d

Constraint: The specified Availability Zone must be in the same region as the current endpoint.

Constraints: The cluster must be provisioned in EC2-VPC and publicly-accessible through an Internet gateway. For more information about provisioning clusters in EC2-VPC, go to Supported Platforms to Launch Your Cluster in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide.

If true, the data in the cluster is encrypted at rest.

Default: false

Specifies the name of the HSM client certificate the Amazon Redshift cluster uses to retrieve the data encryption keys stored in an HSM.

Specifies the name of the HSM configuration that contains the information the Amazon Redshift cluster can use to retrieve and store keys in an HSM.

The AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key ID of the encryption key that you want to use to encrypt data in the cluster.

• Must contain at least one uppercase letter.
• Must contain at least one lowercase letter.
• Must contain one number.
• Can be any printable ASCII character (ASCII code 33 to 126) except ' (single quote), " (double quote), \, /, @, or space.

Valid Values: ds1.xlarge | ds1.8xlarge | ds2.xlarge | ds2.8xlarge | dc1.large | dc1.8xlarge.

The number of compute nodes in the cluster. This parameter is required when the ClusterType parameter is specified as multi-node.

For information about determining how many nodes you need, go to Working with Clusters in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide.

If you don't specify this parameter, you get a single-node cluster. When requesting a multi-node cluster, you must specify the number of nodes that you want in the cluster.

Default: 1

Constraints: Value must be at least 1 and no more than 100.
